How to Bolster Windows security

Vista includes a new Security Center that enables you to monitor and adjust security settings and updates in a single Window. Unlike XPís version, Vistaís Security Center also shows any thirdparty software that is protecting your PC, instead of simply saying the computer is unprotected when Windows Firewall is not switched on. You can also manage how vital security updates are downloaded and installed.
